The Billionaire's unexpected Love Affair Clash of wills.
CHAPTER FIFTY NINESALLYI scoffed. I couldn't believe that Alex wanted for me to leave so he could bring in Beverly. Was this their plans all along? He didn't even wait for a week. He brought her in the very moment I left. Am I really that unimportant to him?I stared at the picture for a while longer. My knees grew weak immediately, and I lost my appetite. The people in the restaurant didn't stop talking about me and Alex. "She looks pregnant," one of them said. "He wouldn't bring in a pregnant mistress if she isn't carrying his child.""I want to go home," I told James. Coming here was a bad idea. I shouldn't have agreed to eat out with Alex. I wished that I saw it coming. "Please," I stressed as I stared into James's eyes. He was just staring at me without saying a word. He opened his mouth and shut it again. "Can we?" I insisted. "Of course," he stood up, and we walked out of the restaurant together. James was quiet the whole time. He didn't say a word until he began to

CHAPTER SIXTYALEXANDER I knew that the only time my dad would ask me to visit him was when he had something to scold me about. I was sure he had seen the news as well, and that was the only reason he'd ask to see me. Still, I couldn't deny him the right to see me. I drove into the compound and parked safely at the parking lot. I walked out of the car and stood beside it. I breathed out heavily, with my eyes tightly shot. I was ready for whatever he had in the stall for me. I walked into the sitting room and met my dad, walking down the stares already. "You're here," he said. His voice sounded neutral. He was neither shocked nor pleased. He came to me and I noticed the firece glare in his eyes. He pulled out his phone and pointed it to my face. There was a picture of Beverly hugging me, and another picture of her waking into the house, then the picture of Sally leaving. I sighed. I was aware that it was the reason he called me. I wasn't surprised because I saw it coming.

CHAPTER SIXTY ONESALLYI walked into my room and banged the door on Alex's face. I walked straight to my bed and sat there, letting out a sigh of relief.After a few seconds, I began to hear continuous knock on my door. I tried to ignore it, but it would not stop. I decided to go out there and find out if it was Alex or someone else. When I opened the door, I saw Alex standing there. "What do you want?" I asked him harshly. "I'm sorry for...""Can you just go away and leave me alone?" I asked him. Alex bit his lower lips gently and tried to speak. I pushed the door forward in an attempt to close it, but Alex grabbed it quickly and placed his left foot in my room."If you want to keep walking with that leg, take it off," I threatened him. "If that would make you hear me out, then fine."I wondered why Alex was putting into much effort to see that I forgave him. What does it matter to him?"What do you want from me, Alex?" I asked him calmly. "And I want you to be sincere. ""I

CHAPTER SIXTY TWOBEVERLY "Why won't you stop? When will you stop?" I shouted harshly. I was about to say another word when I heard someone's phone ringing loudly behind me. I quickly turned around and saw Sally standing there, which left me flustered. I quickly hung up and faced Sally, who only stared at me for a while, causing me to swallow hard. With shaky hand and feet, I walked towards the switch and turned the lights on. Sally picked up the call and walked away. I was stunned. I wondered if she heard my conversation with Peter or not. I'd kill Peter if he ever got me in trouble. I was already close to becoming the queen I've always dreamt of being, and he was trying to ruin everything for me. My phone began to ring again. It was still Peter calling. I hung up. He texted me with a threat saying he would come over if I didn't pick up the calls. I rushed back to my room and picked up his call. I was already sweating profusely. "What do you want?" I demanded harshly when I

CHAPTER SIXTY THREESALLY I walked into my room and stood in the middle of the room with my phone in my hand. "Why haven't you been at work?" Mr Clarence questioned. I rolled my eyes. "I was out of town," I responded. I noticed someone walking in the compound and rushed towards the window. I opened the curtain and stood there, watching. Beverly walked out of the compound dressed in simple clothing. I stared at her until I could no longer see her. Something in my gut told me that Beverly was up to something. I thought of following her, but I immediately decided against it. "You should be at work tomorrow," Clarence informed me. "We have a very important meeting to attend to."I sighed deeply. "Of course, I will. I'm back in town."I let go of the curtain immediately when we hung up. I sat on my bed and placed both hands on my knees. Beverly was obviously up to some mischief. Although I didn't pick up her conversation earlier, I heard her say, "It's not yours."I wondered what

CHAPTER SIXTY FOUR BEVERLY "Beverly," Alex called immediately after Sally left. I lifted my head from my plate and fixed my gaze on his lips. "I want you to leave," he requested. I simply scoffed and continued eating. I didn't have the energy for the stress he was about to put me through. One thing I know for sure was that I would never leave the house matter what. I was here to stay, and nothing would change that. "You have to leave, Beverly. My wife is not comfortable with your presence here.""Why?" I asked, as I faced Alex. "I have the same right to this house as she does. I even have more right. I'm the one who's carrying your child, not her."Alex nodded."That's right, but..." He paused for a while and ran his fingers through his hair. I pushed my nose forward. "You can stay in a hotel until I find you somewhere you'd be comfortable and you'd love to stay.""Better stop searching cause I do not have plans to leave this house. "Alex placed his spoon on the bare table.

CHAPTER SIXTY FIVEALEX"I need to get rid of that woman in my house and my life as soon as possible," I told Clinton.He sighed deeply. "What are your plans right now?" He asked me. "I'm not sure, but I know she needs to leave my house. I just can't wait for the baby to be born, so she will return every dime I spent on that child if it isn't mine.""With the huge amount of money you just sent to her?" Clinton asked. "Nah, that woman would wreck you."I leaned backwards and placed my hand on my jaw. My agent was doing a very terrible job in finding an apartment for Beverly. I wanted her out of my house as soon as possible. "I need you to start searching for a house around town. A house that's not too big and won't cost me so much. I need to get rid of Beverly as soon as possible."Clinton nodded. "Your wish is my command, sir," he agreed. "Please, I need you to hurry with the search."He pulled out his phone."There are agencies online that you can get houses from," he said. "Ar

CHAPTER SIXTY SIXJAMESI was going through some documents in my office when Gerald walked in with a file. There was a smile on his face. Whenever Gerald smiled that way, it meant there was a catch. I had earlier asked him to find some dirt in the Grande group of companies. Anything at all that could be used against Alex and the company at large. "Sit," I offered Gerald a seat. He pulled out the chair in front of me and sat there. Gerald was now seated opposite me, with the file on the table as he tried to unlock it. He brought out a few papers from the file and pushed it towards me. "Here," he said, with a grin on his lip. I took the paper from him and gulped. I was eager to see what he had. I wanted to ask him, but I decided to see for myself. "Grande group of companies," I read the top information on the first page aloud. I smirked. It was truly about the Grande company and not about my office. I began to flip through the papers. There were pictures attacked to the docume

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY SEVEN SALLYSEVEN YEARS LATER I walked around the kitchen as the maid prepared the banquet for dinner. While I was supervising the dinner, I could hear my kids laughing and playing in the sitting room.Alex had already left the house a while ago. He gad gone to pick his father up from the prison. We were glad that they had to reduce the term he was supposed to serve in prison, seeing that he was good during his stay. I was excited that we would no longer have to frequent the prison with my kids just to say hello to their grandpa."Mom!" Lucy cried as she rushed into the kitchen. "Lucas hit my eyes."I patted her head and whispered, "Sorry," to her.She ran off, feeling excited about the fact that I apologised on behalf of her twin brother. I didn't meddle in their fights. I just apologised on behalf of the other person, and it was okay.I knew that Lucy was more troublesome, but I would never take sides. I didn't want any of them to feel that I loved t

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY SIXSALLYI felt my life slipping away from me. All I saw was darkness. I felt like I was floating. I couldn't open my eyes even though I wanted to..I could hear people running around, even though the sounds echoed. I could hear the machine beeping very loudly. I heard the doctor asking the nurses to chathe the defibrillator. I could feel it on my chest severally. I wanted to just rest. I wished that they would stop trying to revive me and let me be. I could feel my floating body moving up and down without my consent.I thought I was going to die, but the doctors and Alex were not ready to give up on me. They kept trying until I opened my eyes. Alex gasped when he noticed that I opened my eyes. Everything stopped, and everyone stopped moving."Sally," Alex whispered under his breath before rushing towards me. He hugged me tightly and whimpered. There was a celebration in the room. My parents rushed in with Jessica and Diana when they heard the celebrat

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY FIVEALEXANDER Before we got to the hospital with the ambulance carrying Sally, I already called her parents and told them to be on their way there. I had to hold Jessica throughout the journey because she was having a panic attack. She kept asking me if her sister would die. I didn't know how else to assure her that Sally would be fine. I was also hoping, just like her. I didn't have any supernatural powers.We got to the hospital, and while she was being transferred to the bed, her parents drove in. Her mom alighted from the car before it even stopped and rushed towards us. Her heart was racing as she approached us. "My daughter," she cried out in pain. She held Sally and began to cry and call out Sally's name. She was pulled away from Sally by the nurses, and they wheeled Sally into the ward where surgery would be conducted on her.Jessica hugged her parents tightly. "Thanl goodness, you are safe," Mrs Anderson said as she turned her daughter arou

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY FOURNARRATORSally's heart sank immediately when she heard the gunshot. She turned to Jessica immediately. She sighed when she noticed that Jessica wasn't hurt. She only shut her eyes tightly with her fist clenched. "This is not a toy, Sally," Beverly warned.She intentionally shot at the wall to make Sally see that they weren't joking about killing Jessica if she didn't sign the papers. "One," Beverly counted. Sally was already shaken. She remembered how she felt after hearing the gunshot. When she thought that Beverly killed her sister for real. Her hands were shaking.She knew what Beverly could do, and she could not afford to lose her sister. She knew that she would end up signing the papers even after they killed her sister."Let me have the papers," she requested. James handed the papers to her, and she quickly placed her signature in every single place that it requested.James collected the papers from her. He had a triumphant smile on his fac

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THREEALEXANDER I was panicking, but I stayed calm until we got to the office. I told Clinton what was going on, and he advised that I tried calling Sally again, which I quickly did, but I could not reach her..I became alarmed. I kept calling going Sally's number. Sometimes, it rang, other time, it didn't. I kept trying to reach Sally even though it was getting frustrating. When I called again, it was switched off. This made me stand up to my feet. "Calm down, Alex," Clinton advised me. I could not think straight. I logged into the app and tried to track Sally's phone again, but it got disconnected. I could no longer track her, and it was because her phone was switched off. "Let me have your phone," I asked Clinton. "Of course," he replied as he dipped his hands into his pocket and brought out his phone. He handed his phone over to me. I took it from Clinton and dialled Sally's number. It was still switched off. My head began to spin.I had a bad

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY TWO SALLYI tried to steady my thoughts as I drove to the location on the map Beverly forwarded to me. I was sure that I didn't leave any traces, and I was certain that no one followed me down to this place.As I drove, I could feel my hands shaking terribly. A lot ran through my head at the same time. I finally got to the location. I parked my car outside the building, and alighted from the car..I called Beverly to inform her that I was at the location. After a while, she arrived with two men. I opened the car boot for them to get the money. They pulled the bag out of the car and dropped it on the floor. They opened the zip and quickly searched through it."It's intact," one of them to Beverly. "We can't trust this woman," Beverly told them. "We have to count the money first.""Where's she?" I asked Beverly. "We would only release her to you after counting the money and making sure that it is complete."I didn't want to go in with them, but my sister

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY ONEALEXANDER I found it difficult to sleep. I had walled in on Sally when she was demanding money from her mom. I knew that she cried the moment I walked in and saw her eyes. Even though Sally kept insisting that she was fine until she slept off, I knew that she was not fine. She was only saying so to get me off her back. I tried to go through her phone, but it seemed like she had deleted her recent calls. The only call I saw was that of her mom and other unimportant calls. I walked back to the bag lying on the floor of our room. I opened the bag and stared into it for a while. I hoped that all was well. I returned to the bed and kept rolling there. I didn't even notice when I slept off.The next morning, I felt someone shaking me tenderly. I opened my eyes slowly, and I rubbed them with both hands. When I opened my eyes widely, I saw Sally seated in front of me. She was smiling, but I could tell that the smile was a fake smile."Morning, love," she

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY BEVERLYI was excited when my driver walked into the small house with Jessica. I didn't believe my eyes at first. How would I have known that it would be so easy to get Jessica."Hard nut to crack," I teased her as I touched her chin.She whimpered fearfully."Was this the reason you came to my school the other day pretending to be nice?" She asked me.I was just smiling at her as I touched her chin. She slapped my hands off."Hold her!" I ordered the driver who had brought her in. He held her hands tightly, and she struggled with him. "Let go of me!" She commanded with so much authority.I grabbed her chin and squeezed her face.She whimpered as she struggled to free herself from my grip, but I wouldn't let her go. "Who do you think you are to think that you can behave whichever way that pleases you?"She spat on my face immediately after I freed her from my grip. My eyes and mouth opened widely."I knew that a prostitute like you should not be trust

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTY NINESALLYI walked out of the meeting room and went straight to my office. immediately when I sat down, my phone began to ring. I stared at the screen and saw that it was Jessica who was calling me. I smiled because I had missed her. I wondered what she had to say this time.Nevertheless, I picked up the call. "Hello, Jessi," I called out, but there was no response.I continued calling out Jessica, but there was no response from her end. I kept calling Jessica's name, but still, there was no reply until it hung up. I tried calling her again, but there was no response. I dialled her number thrice. When she didn't pick the third time, I decided to let her be..I left my phone in my office and decided to go supervise the packaging of the scandal goods that had been reproduced. I strolled around the room and made sure that everyone present there had something doing.I also supervised the faces of those who were in the team just to ensure that there were n
